Add a fuel Filter? Yes or No?

[swimman]

Filter has now been relocated in line between the tank and carb. Straight shot and gravity will allow all the fuel to leave the tank. Zip tied the filter to the control cable to keep it away from the auto choke arm which gets hot. Mowed for an hour yesterday and worked perfectly. Loving the HRX217HYA as it's very smooth - both in cutting as well as rolling across the ground. My 10 year old did our back yard which took about 45 minutes (he walks slower than I would) and was very proud of himself!

Here are pics of the filter repositioned.

Well done:thumbsup: Looks great. Did you remove the factory "filter" coming out of the tank?

Yes, I removed the strainer filter although probably could have left it in as it does no harm but would have to check it occasionally to make sure there are no clogs. Simple to reinstall if I feel the need.

Perfect that's basically how I have mine
